5.0 Engine Lifting Plate

[shucker1]

Would anyone have a design or pictures of a 5.0 Liter lifting plate?

Specifically I'm hunting something that I can attach directly to the cylinder head intake ports themselves with the lower intake off.

The engine is a completely built 331 and I don't want to pull the heads off to re-install back in the truck.

I have full access to an industrial machine shop so material and construction of the plate is no problem.

Rigging off the front and rear of the block is such a PIMA.

Thanks
Chris

You *******. Your life is already gold plated enough as it is without me making it easier for you.

Last time i lifted a 5.0 I had a plate that fitted the Holley pattern on the manifold so I'm no help to you.

Good luck with this.

Rude Bud, Just plain Rude.

LOL.

Worth a try to ask.

Hope all is good WAY DOWN South!

Thanks for your Sympathy thought.

Put a bolt with a big washer in the right rear and the left front of the intake side of each head. Works for me every time.

Agreed,

Been there and done that.

Crawling behind the head and between the firewall once the engine is in place to get the bolt out is a pain.

Just trying for the easy way out.

Call me lazy...
